Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow's Turkey Day. Thanksgiving. El Día de Gracias. Whatever you wanna call it. And this year, I have a LOT to be thankful for. My parents, for one thing - I can't imagine how hard it's been for them to put up with me (being the typical, complicated teenage girl I've been) over the last 10 months or so. Especially over the summer. Man, I had some drama going on. And that's another thing - I'm thankful that all that crap is behind me. I'm thankful that things with Colby worked out (or didn't, I suppose) like they did. Being with him was a mistake anyway. I'm thankful for school, in a way. If it weren't for school, I wouldn't have so many friends, and I wouldn't be taking the best class ever - anatomy. I'm thankful for my grandparents, of course. They're the best. And I'm thankful for Anna, even though she tends to be a little...strange sometimes. But hey, she listens when nobody else does. And I'm extremely thankful for John this year. At first, it was weird to be dating him again, but I've been enjoying every minute of it. I mean, what would I do if he weren't a part of my life? Nothing. Seriously, my life would be so boring. I'd be sitting at home every night, getting more and more sick of my parents by the second. That's another reason why I'm really thankful for my parents - they put up with me and John seeing each other every day. They could be really mean and not let me do anything with him, but they're not. They let me get away with a lot, and that means the world to me. I just wish I could show them how much I appreciate it.

So, tomorrow, I'm going to help my mom finish up all the food preparations. I know it's kind of pointless to make a nice fancy Thanksgiving dinner for 3 people, but hey - it's the thought that counts, right? My parents and I are actually going to sit down together and eat tomorrow. We're going to spend time together. That'll be really nice. And then, tomorrow afternoon my mom and I are going to get a new Christmas tree and put it up. Then at some point, I'll be going nextdoor to help my grandparents decorate their house for Christmas. And last but not least, at some point tomorrow night, I'll get to spend a little time with John. I can't wait.

I'm sure I've said this before, but all in all, I think this is going to be the best holiday season ever. And to think, it all starts tomorrow. I mean, tomorrow's Thanksgiving! It's kind of scary to think that Christmas is less than a month away, but at the same time, it feels like this has been the longest year ever. It's time for the holidays, and it's going to be awesome this year. So, on that note, I'm going to go to bed. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
